Charity Miles is a great way to get active along with helping certain charities. Charity Miles is available in the App Store and Google Play Store for FREE. Simply download the app, pick a charity, and start biking, running, or walking. As you exercise, the Charity Miles app will track the distance and money you earn. When you are finished, Charity Miles will send a note confirming your good work. “It’s as easy as this: get moving.” When you use this app bikers can earn 10¢ a mile and runners/walkers earn 25¢ a mile. When I think about integrating this into the classroom, I think about Physical Education teachers first. Also, an elementary classroom could begin the day with a walk around the school. This gets the body and mind ready to learn along with a quick math lesson, as students can estimate how much money the class will earn by the end of the year according to 10¢ or 25¢ a mile ratio. The video embedded below will give you more information on Charity Miles.
